How to use Photo Overlays the right way.

Whatever you like it or not Photo Overlays are here and it looks that they are going to stay here for long. There is a huge fan base of Photo Overlays users and you are probably one of them since you are visiting this blog. I'm sure that you met some photographers who are totally against the use of any additional editing tools.

You know what? Photo overlays are not only what growth of digital photography bring, these tools have been in use for a little bit longer than Photoshop and DSRL cameras. And the growth is strong.

Before I share this free, let's talk about shooting and editing at golden hour. Yes, I  absolutely love this time of the year and I'm trying to shoot at the golden hour as much as possible.

Have you seen my latest post with the Tips at Shooting at Golden hour yet? I'm sharing a few of my personal tips when shooting golden hour portraits and how to take advantage of this beautiful light.

New Digital Backgrounds Collection

Do you like shooting at a golden hour? I must say shooting and editing golden pictures are both my faves. Over the years we created many editing tools, just to help you edit fast and beautiful. I used to apply textures over my pictures, you can find my free Photoshop Tutorial and learn how to get this beautiful golden tones with Afternoon Light Textures here. There is also a free tutorial where I'm using Golden Hour PS Actions here.

Don't forget about a very popular Golden Glow Freebie available to download here.

Tips for Shooting at Golden Hour

Each Summer I fell in love again with golden hour light. This warm, magical light all photographers are looking for it's hard to replicate. I love the softness of it, the glow, especially when shooting portraits.

This golden light can be found twice a day - an hour after sunrise (Blue Hour) and an hour before sunset.

Free Tulip Digital Background.

It's Freebie Friday and I'm here today with the free digital background for you to enjoy. 

There is a pretty simple way to use digital backgrounds. First of all, download your digital background file, unzip the folder and open the background in editing software. You can use any software supporting layers - PS, PS CC, PS E, Gimp. Open your image in Photoshop and place it into the digital background. Now create masking layer & paint away these parts of the image you don't want to see, zoom in and use a soft brush for the best result. This is the easiest way to extract anything from the picture, however, if you are using Photoshop on the more advanced level you can use any other technique. At this moment you can continue with editing or just merge both layers.

There is a new Spring Digital Background Collection available in our shop this week. 

You can download Tulips Digital Background here.
